    Comcast Sues DirecTV Over 'Deceptive' Claims of 'Free' Televised NFL Games & Response from DIRECTV

    I don't watch commercials that's why I spent money on a HD DVR. And NO! I don't let commercials slip by I only watch delayed/recorded tv. I read the free NFL ST included for the first time at no extra cost from the little triangular ad on the front page of directv.com when the lockout was still...

    Comcast Sues DirecTV Over 'Deceptive' Claims of 'Free' Televised NFL Games & Response from DIRECTV

    Yeah I guess I don't have any living brain cells in my head cause I thought it was free for everybody this year. Not until I started reading this thread I found out that it ws free only to new customers. That's what I saw that's what I believed. But thank you anyway for your reply/opinion.

    Directv HR24NC-700

    It's the remote. Check the weight of the RC65RX to the weight of the RC65X. The RX will be just a tad bit heavier cause it has an additional controller board for the RF circuitry. You would most likely have to replace the X remote with an RX remote to get RF for the other receiver. I know of...

    Jailbroken Iphone

    I think a jailbroken iphone is perfectly legal. I also think unlocking is perfectly legal. But the second you use that jailbroken iphone to load an ill gotten commercial app then it becomes illegal in the fact that your iphone now contails illegal pirated software.

    Discovery Channel's Mays' Marathon Continues As Scheduled July 1

    I was more shocked at Mays' death than that of Jackson, Ed or Farrah. I loved the dude. I loved his show. I liked how he had a gift to get people to buy crap they didn't need and I especially admired the way he came up from a small time trade show pitchman to the most famous pitchman alive. I'm...

    HR2x & R22 CE Release 6/26 v.032C

    I downloaded this CE version on friday night. I have to say I am loving this Gameswap (DoublePlay) feature. Also I have tested the remote on ir and rf modes and it seems to be working much better than it did on 0x0312. Also I think the subtitle feature is amazing but I just wish they would give...

    Dish Network Logo On TV Screen

    Sounds to me like you are having some issue with your TV. Are you saying the image is there in full color as if you were tuned to one of the channels with the placeholder image or is it a faint shadow of the logo? If it's the second instance I have to say it all points to burn in. If it's the...

    1080p and 1080i Question

    Directv doesn't broadcast anything in 1080p HD so there is no need for them to include that resolution as an output resolution in their receivers so the highest resolution you'll get is 1080i. As far as I know there are no broadcasters in NA that broadcasts anything in 1080p. The only way you...
